Research Interests
Research in our group focuses on the following areas：
- High yield synthesis, isolation and purification of single (double) walled carbon nanotubes, endohedral fullerenes and metallofullerenes;
- Chemical decoration and functionalization of carbon nanotubes, fullerenes, endohedral fullerenes and metallofullerenes;
- Filling of carbon nanotubes, peapods and chemistry in the nano-space of S(D)WNTs;
- Production of graphenes and single walled carbon nanohorns and their application on catalysis, batteries, biology, etc.
